During
the Oscars last Sunday night, winner Patricia Arquette, Boyhood, admonished
America to work for women’s equal pay. J.K. Simmons, Whiplash,
invited Americans to phone their parents and thank them. Michael Keaton,
Birdman, told the audience how thankful he felt for his life and his
son.

All
of the winners and losers spoke eloquently about their fortunes and
misfortunes in the American film making business. Ironically, legendary
Clint Eastwood’s epic film, American Sniper, out-grossed all
the other top Oscar winning films combined. The academy ignored his
movie.

The
movie, Selma, produced by Oprah Winfrey, didn’t fare very well.
If you remember, back in the era of Dr. Martin Luther King, African-Americans
marched from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama to force this nation toward
voter rights and Black rights in the American pantheon.

Since
that time, America evolved to see African-Americans like Colin Powell
become Secretary of State; Clarence Thomas and Thurgood Marshall served
on the Supreme Court; Condoleezza Rice became Secretary of State;
Barack Obama became president and much more as US Senators, governors,
mayors and House of Representatives feature African-Americans from
every walk of life.

African-Americans
dominate the NBA, NFL and major television shows such as “Scandal”
and “How to get away with murder.” American Blacks head
up Fortune 500 companies.

With
all of their success, a black dance group pranced on the stage at
the Oscars with a highly racially charged routine depicting their
struggles against White America. At one point, they all raised their
hands, shouting, “Hands up! Don’t shoot!” They referred
to 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri who lossed his
life after he robbed a convenience store and charged a police officer.

Six
African-American witnesses testified that Brown wrestled the police
officer for his gun in the police squad car and they testified that
Brown charged the police officer with intent to overpower him. Riots
and carnage resulted in burning down a good portion of the city while
Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson charged racism and ruthless police tactics.

In
reality, Michael Brown showed up in several videos where he viciously
beat an old man senseless and his crime sheet showed a budding criminal
who would reach jail or death, whichever came first.

Somehow,
major Black leaders lay the blame on White America for all of Black
America’s problems. Even Barack Obama said that Trayvon Martin,
a budding criminal in his own right, could be Obama’s son.

First
of all, the latest statistics show that 6,000 Black on Black killings
occur annually in the USA via strangling, guns, knifes and beatings.
No Black leaders whisper a word about how to solve such horrible numbers.
They don’t condemn their own actions, but they always condemn
Whites.

Second,
73 percent of African-American children arrive out of wedlock and
into welfare with a single mother annually. None of the Black community
that screams at the Brown and Garner killings, breaths a word about
the irresponsible actions of Black teen girls and their boyfriends.
They live on welfare provided by the American taxpayer. Is it any
wonder that the African-American family devolves into fatherless families,
rogue children, violence, illiteracy, shoplifting and cyclical dependency
on taxpayers?

Third,
figures show that Black American teens quit high school by 50 to 60
percent in our major cities. Millions of African-Americans guarantee
their poverty, homelessness, joblessness and fatherless families.
They choose their conditions.

Fourth,
millions of Black Americans fill our prisons in a response to their
choices to deal, consume and transport drugs. Each African-American
chooses prison when they choose to break the law.

Fifth,
a whopping 48 million Americans failed themselves as to education,
personal responsibility and personal accountability as they subsist
on food stamps provided by American taxpayers. Millions of Blacks
stand in the ranks of those who gain EBT cards (Electronic Benefits
Transfers) for food stamps and free housing.

Each
person, Black or White, suffering lack of an education and making
poor choices, brings a personal tragedy into the fabric of American
life. Our inner city projects like Chicago, Detroit, New York City,
Atlanta, Houston, Denver and Los Angeles—bear witness that we
must change our national priorities.

Instead
of massive financial disasters of 13-year wars created and maintained
by bankers and the Military Industrial Complex, we need to fund national
educational systems that work for our youth. We need all male and
all female schools with dress codes to take the sexual intrigues out
of the classrooms. We need to teach parents how to parent their children
by mandatory classes before marriage. We need to pay teachers and
mentors ample money to create discipline and respect for education.

We
need to stop endless and massive legal immigration, that injects 1.2
million people annually, who take jobs from our working poor. We need
to reduce all immigration to less than 100,000 annually instead of
the current 100,000 every 30 days. We must elect Congressional leaders
who garrison troops on our Mexican border to stop in excess of 500,000
illegal aliens jumping our borders and into our workforce annually.
If not, we cannot and will not solve mass unemployment of Black America.
The past five presidents and Congresses did nothing to help Black
or White Americans as to jobs. In fact, Congress forces our poorest
into more poverty by mass immigration.

We
need Black national leaders to lead, guide and inspire African-American
youth to participate in the American Way of Life. Whether Black America
likes its past or not, it now must deal with living in a highly educated,
highly industrialized 21st century country.

We
need all the angry Al Sharpton’s, all Black entertainers, all
sports heroes and political leaders to stand in front of Black audiences
and thank their lucky stars for living in America. If Black Americans
lived in the unending violence of Africa for a few months, examples—mass
murderer Boko Haram, Somalia, Sudan, Congo, millions dying of AIDS,
etc., they would change their mantra of “Hands up! Don’t
Shoot!” to “How lucky I am! Praise the Lord!”

Have
Black Americans wondered why all those millions of starving African
immigrants clamor to come to America? They die by the millions in
Africa from starvation, AIDS, cholera, Malaria, genocide wars and
worse.

If
we hope to maintain a viable civilization, we all need to buckle down
to education, jobs, lawful communities and civil participation. If
not, we all face Ferguson, Missouri’s in our own towns across
the nation, especially in our cities where the cauldrons boil with
contempt for law and order. You heard the marches, “Kill cops
now!”

Once
our nation loses its respect for law and order, we all face what occurs
in Africa, the Middle East, Mexico and Paris, France daily. It’s
not going to be pretty for anyone.
